      Sadly yes. Hasan is a social democrat, though one that tries not to condemn existing socialist countries like many socdems do.

        Neither the republicans who are using this talking point nor the democrats who wrote it care. They don’t want anyone to be allowed to vote for a non-genocidal candidate. Neither wants the Overton window to ever move to the left.

          He isn’t a sex pest or dog shocker as far as I know, that’s typical character assassination for anyone that stands in opposition to the status quo significantly. He isn’t a communist either, though, just a social democrat.

          Gifting implies he says or promotes something he doesn’t believe in to make money. He’s been pretty consistent, no?

          You believing those lies is a function of a bipartisan character assassination campaign to silence anyone critical of Israel. Nice job falling for it hook, line and sinker.

          Hasan is just a Youtuber, not the head of the DNC, DSA or what have you. This is so obviously blown out of proportions.

            I mean, I’ve seen the footage. I’ve also seen his older frathouse videos. These are what I’ve based my opinion on. If you’re suggesting he’s assassinated his own character, then I’d agree.

                So your argument is, “shut your eyes, shut your mouth, you can’t form your own opinions, they will be dictated to you by the proper authorities” ?

                  Hasan is not the bad scary guy you think he is because of baseless slanders he’s just a guy who’s read theory that’s kinda libbed up with revolutionary aesthetics (45$ Anarchist T shirts, etc) probably because he’s been pretty privileged his whole life, that’s the argument, atleast it’s mine

                    It borders on caricature that all the “nuh uh, you didn’t see that” responses are from .ml instances

                  No, what you saw is a clip where the context is inferred. It’s like me showing footage of a van pulling up by a warehouse at night to prove there’s a drug lab there, but you don’t actually see any drugs, nor a drug lab, but it looks suspicious enough so you believe it.

                  Then you go “but I saw the footage”. No, you saw a van pulling up by a warehouse.

                  This is similar. You don’t actually see Hasan shocking his dog. You saw his hands beneath his desk as his dog barked.

                    Your persistence in trying to gaslight me into doubting my interpretation of something I saw is bordering on pathological, i.e. super weird bro.
